This has to be pretty cool. Driven by one of the coolest men in the coolest car chase film.

my definition of cool was being driven in a bentley speed six around le mans just after bentley won in 2003. Even if i was gary glitter, people would still have been cheering.

That's the car the studio chose, this is the car Steve McQueen chose:

Ok you have outdone me. Make it every car that man has ever owned. There's a book out about McQueen and his cars. Some good stories in it.

It's cool because every other car like this has been snapped up and restored (and painted red!)

I am sure i saw this very car a few years ago, when i was heading cross country from wiltshire to yorkshire. Went past me at a huge rate of knots and woke my dad up who was asleep in the back!

v v cool cos it isnt over restored.

I think my coolest car would have to be the auto union hill climb car at the FOS a few years ago, went up the hill with the wheels spinning, arse hung out round the bends and flames out the exhaust. Was superb to see a unique car being driven properly

There is no "Coolest Car In The World".

Only "Casino Square" cars. Those cars that, of a twilight evening in Monaco, notwithstanding Ferraris / Lambos / Maseratis / Other Exotica, you drive into Casino Square and every other car parked up looks a little, well, over-wrought. OTT. Trying too hard.

This is a Casino Square Car:



And another:

I think it's an impossible ask, it's too subjective, and there are sooo many utterly sublime cars out there, how the hell do you chose just the one? My list of the coolest cars would probably head up into the hundreds....

Out of my cars, the M6 gets by far the most respect, People actually wave and give the thumbs up, no other car i've ever owned gets the same response

Pre-ace lift Mk II Fiat Panda Bianca (1986-1991) in white with the 999 fire engine and the fold down (camper) rear seat. Had a company car (brand new BMW 325) and couldn't pull the skin of custard with it. In the Panda I went out with Miss Slovakia 1999. smile
